Epson WorkForce 840 Ink Cartridges

Epson 840 Printer Review

Considered one of the fastest all-in-one inkjet printers on the market, the Epson WorkForce 840 is suitable for a home or a small office. It offers built-in wireless connectivity as well as ports for ethernet and USB connections, though these cables will need to be bought separately. The 840 is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems, and measures only 17.6x22.3x12 inches, making it a good fit for various small environments.

Speed is important in any work environment, and the 840 does not disappoint. It takes only about 3 seconds to receive a fax because of the 33.6 Kbps transmission speed. When copying or printing, up to 15 pages per minute can be completed using only black Epson 840 ink, while about 9 pages per minute can be produced in color. In duplex mode, which prints on both sides of a page, the number of pages per minute is reduced to half.

When the Epson 840 ink cartridges that come in the box expire, users have a number of options when it comes to replacements. Printer ink is fairly easy to find on the internet, and this particular model offers both standard and high-capacity options. Cyan, yellow, and magenta WorkForce 840 ink cartridges can yield up to 480 pages for standard capacity supply and 740 pages with the high-capacity supply. The standard black printer ink will yield up to 755 pages while the high-capacity version yields as many as 945 pages.

Another option when shopping for replacements is compatible Epson 840 ink. This is made by third-party manufacturers but is designed to create the same high-quality results and provide the same yield as the OEM versions. Compatible WorkForce 840 ink is significantly less expensive than the name-brand options, thus reducing overall costs.

Some of the more modern features that will appeal to home user are the PictBridge port and memory card slots for direct printing without a PC. This is made possible by the 7.8-inch touch panel with a 3.5-inch color LCD that can be used to preview and edit images. The 840 is also enabled to allow mobile printing from smartphones and tablets.

The 840 has the speed and features to be an asset for a home or small office. Its affordable price and inexpensive supplies make it a good value, and the ability to handle multiple functions from one inkjet device can help users to save space.
